I HE IV M F TAX.
There is a good deal of talk among meui
frs of Congress about tbe income tax,
gome of them are receiving letters
asking if the tax must be paid this year.
The law is so plain that it would seem as
if no one ueed to raise this question.
Taxes cannot be laid on this year's in
come; but they must be paid this spring
on last year's income, and the Revenue
Bureau are now basing the proper blanks
printed. It is not yet certain what action
the Ways and Means committee will re
commend in reference to tbe continuation
of tbe tax ; but it is not at all likely that
4Xngreas will re-enact at five per cent.
The Democrats generally show s disposi
aipn to go against the whole thing in any
jEku L-ul the probabilities are that thre
'5 cent. wiU finally be laid, with a change
ja Ue exemption.
APPORTIONMENT BILL.
Mr. Paine, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Elections, has prepared a bill
! for the apportionment of Representatives
throughout the States, which is tbe best
presented. The number of members Is to
be three hundred, with the proportionate
number added with the admission of s
new State. After the Forty-second Cong
ress a new enumeration is to be made
before the loth of August, 1870, and Jlhe
basis of representation fixed. The num
ber called for will embrace all tho 8outh-
cm States, including Mississippi, Texas,
Virginia and Georgia. The next Congress
i Is to have, under tbe bill, the same num-
j her of districts from each Slate as at pres
ent, and any additional number which a
: State may be entitled to, are to bo elected
by the State at large. If it Is found, under
the new apportionment, that any State
has more than it is entitled to, no reduc
tion will be made until the Forty-second
Congress. As tbe bill comes from the
Committee on Elections, it will stands
good chance of being pressed. It is very
long, and its provisions are clearly stated
and well organised.
OOTTON O ROW I NO.
Commander Truxtou, of the United
States ship Jamestown, writes to the Na

dated-September 30! h. that an attempt is

MCLLEXS, THE " ORATOR OF THE HOfSE."
On Saturday a letter was received at the
Internal Revenue bureau from James
Mullens, late member of Congress from
Tennessee, Collector of the Fourth Ten
nessee district, giving an account of the
outrages recently perpetrated in Shelby
and Rutherford counties, and appealing
to the Commissioner to have P'juads of
United States soldiers detailed for the
purpose of assisting the Collector in en
forcing the revenue laws in his section of
the State. He says that without such as
sistance the Government; expects to sup
press illicit distillation, which prevails to
a great extent.
AX INTERESTING QUESTION.
An Interesting question La arisen out
'. of the recent sale to private parties of tho
irovernmeni properly at Harper s herry.
The purchasers claim that tbe Baltimore
snd Ohio Railroad Company have no legal
right to run their road through what was,
until the recent sale, a Government reser
vation. Permission to run their track
through the Harper's Ferry property was
given the Company by the Secretary of
War thirty yeara ago. It is claimed that
this sale vitiates this permission, and that
two miles of the railroad track, being on
the main road to the West, ts by mere
sufferance on the laud of private par
ties. CUBA.
The news reached Washington the other
day, from Havana, that the Cuban Junta
in New York had advised the insurgents
to lay down their arms, and that the revo
lution was consequently at an end. Ths
New York Jifuta indignantly denied the
assertion of the Havana telegram, ami
protested that the Cuban cause never
looked more hopeful, and uow wo have a
dispatch from Madrid stating that "the
Cuban insurrection has ended by order ot
the Cuban Junta in New York." It seems
somewhat difficult to get at the truth in
tbe matter, but at any rate, it osiuiot be
denied that the friends of Cuba are con
siderably depressed by those ruuiors of
disaster to their cause.
THE DOMINICAN BEPPBLIC.
While the treaty which is to be Kont to
the Senate for the annexation of the Do
minican Republic to the United States
may be ratified, there seems a difference
of opinion among Senators to going be
yond a Territorial Government for new
acquisitions. As telegraphed iast nigh',
parties who are interested in tho annexa
tion stale that the fulfillment of the
asheme will be tbe formation of a State
with two Senators and representatives in
Congress, as tbe population of the Island
ia ove six hundred thousand. She w ould
be entitled to several representatives In
I Congress; hence, as soon as the treaty is
ratified, it is the declared intention of par
ties to go to San Domingo to establish a
National Bank and introduce other Amer
ican institutions.
MB. Bol l WELL'S NEW LOAN BILL.
Secretary Boutwell's new loau bill will,
it is understood, get into Congress this
week. He adheres to the scheme laid
down In his anuuaj report, but there are
not many members of Congress who be
lieve we can negotiate a loan at par for
four and a half per cent. A good many
are willing enough thil he should have a
chaniv to try it ; but the opinion prevails
that tbe rate of interest bad better be
fixed at a higher figure. Most of the out
side talk is to the eflect that nothing can
be done at leas than live per cent; but It
ahould be remembered that the Secretary
has not yet presented the reasons which
induce bis belief that we may negotiate
at the rate he baa named, and a statement
of the reasons may throw some light on
the problem.
DKPOSITOBV NATIONAL BANE.
The following is an extract from a let
ter from the I'nited States Treasurer to a
Depository National Bank: "The Treas
urer claims and Bill exercise the right to
overdraw bis account with a . ,
National Bank by drafting or otherwise
to such an extent aa to bring ihe indebt
edness of the Bank of tbe United Slates
within the limit of its securities, when
ever its aggregate indebtedness to tbe
Government and its officers shall exceed
sucb securities. It Is evident that lu no
ather manner can the Government be
protected from the risk of loss. The risk
is ihe same w bather the defaults stands to
the credit of the Treasurer or of disburs
ing officers; and the Treasurer ia in bo;b
eases equally bound to protect the inter
est of the Government by bringing the
indebtedness of the bank to the I ulted
Siatea within tbe limit of ita securities.
IBOrBLE BREWING llooi.l (.IRANI AND
TJUE SENATE.

to be hoped, at by , rHnk

source, that he defies tbe refra W'.T
tors, wlH Insist upon final acli'ln; 't1
threatens reprisals upon rejection. Tbe
objection to Hoar, that he la a non-resi-cent
of the South never, in point of fact,
having set foot upon soil south of the Po
tomac sounds, at this day, supremely
ridlculous, especially oonaug, as it does,
from the mouths of the carpetbaggers
and soailawags who misrepresent that
section in Congress. Other matters have,
1 Jearn, soured the General, and some say
lie has become exceedingly crusty or late.
The Senate will not humor him by repeal
ing the Tenure-of-Office act. Serious com
mittees are proposed to investigate very
tlelicate matters, and more are in embryo.
His '"policy" with regard to Cuba he
knows will be handled without gloves:
and, in short, the horizon all round looks
murky, and forbodss a coining storm,
compared to which thellttle "onpleasant
ness" between Congress snd Andy was
mere lovers1 quarrels.
MB FINANCES.
One of the finest financial measures to
corn n from the committee in Congress,
will probably be that for redeeming the
outstanding three per cent, certificates
which tit the last statement of the public
debt, amounted to $45,545,000, more than
foor million less than they were when
Congress met. The Secretary of the
Treasury recommended a further grant of
$35,000,000 national bank circulation In
tbeir stead, but It does not look aa if Con
gress would be content with this.
There is a strong demand for moro
money in the South, and soTUething of h
demand trom the West. This amount
might satisfy those sections, but it makes
no provision for the Pacific coast, where,
as everybody admits, the currency la soon
to take the place of gold In general busi
ness. Some persons who have looked Into
matters think tho South should have
$15,000,000; the West $10,000,000, and the
Pacific 2i,000,000. An increase to the
National Hanks of tbe whole amount of
tho three per cents would not quite meet
this flgnro. Money lending men of the I
East favor contraction, but the demand
in that direction seems hardly strong
enough to prevail.
Projects for the redistribution of bank
circulation will undoubtedly be intro
duced, but at present the increase appears
more probable than a general redistribu
tion. Of the bills already presented, half
a dozen provide for free tanking, and four
more look to an increase of circulation in
one torm or another. Tbe Banking Com
mittee of the House and tbe Finance Com
mittee of the Senate are bath dilatory ,and
neither has seriously debated any of their
questions, so that It is almost Impossible
to get sny safe data on which to ground
a conclusion as to which action will finally
be taken.
